Halloween Venus by George Petty



Here is a lovely Halloween witch  by pin up artist George Petty (1894-1975).

The long-legged "Petty Girl" mainly appeared in Esquire from 1933 until 1956 and this example was the October image from their 1947 Calendar.  Petty girls were very popular during World War 2 and it was copy of one of his pin ups which adorned the nose of the famous B17 Flying Fortress The Memphis Belle.

More Petty Girls another day.
